Both her and her husband work in Taber, but reside in Lethbridge. Wanting to keep their family physician in Dr. Steed, the couple decided to keep their medical care in Taber.

When she was feeling her first contractions, the decision was made to hang around Parker’s grandparent’s house, close to the Taber Hospital, just in case it wasn’t false labour pains (Braxton Hicks contractions).

“We went to my parents house first because I didn’t want to just run to the hospital without knowing for sure,” said Kimberlee. “We waited at my parents’ house for about an hour or something just to see if it was real and then I decided to go to the hospital.”

With Parker coming early, the parents are fully expecting for their wake times to be coming early as well.
